The Henry Addington

Popped into the Henry Addington midweek for a spot of lunch and wasn't disappointed. The menu was wide and varied from pies to soup to burgers and some other pub staples . It wasn't particularly busy, but the service was top notch with friendly brisk service to our table. Good selection of drinks available on tap and bottled so definitely something for everyone.

Love this place - favourite pub in the wharf area by far. Nice old traditional pub with a local homely vibe. Staff are nice and crowd are decent folk. Good selection of beers and whiskies and Gins on offer. Mostly love the vibes, one of the few traditional styled pubs in the wharf area, which is generally full of impersonal loud unfriendly bars. Stand out pub in the area.

If hospitality like this existed in West London l'd be a happy woman and an even busier guide. Upon entering this establishment you can see well laid out seating with varied heights bar/ dining/ leather booths and sofa areas. The spacing allows easy passage for wheelchairs( nb: tables are at correct height for seating transfer)stick walkers and groups can snake through with little difficulty. Signage for food choices is plentiful and l love the invitation to order afternoon tea by the exquisite teapot display. I defy anyone to find the tap selection wanting. There's a broad choice of London, UK and continental beers,lagers and ciders. My favourite summer shandy making Cornish Doom got a yaay from me. My friends enjoyed rose and red wine choices with exotic names followed by a debate about which whisky was a good after lunch palate pleaser. And.....we haven't even got to the food .... Wonderful selection of starters and mains covering steaks, fish, proper Mac n cheese, vegan burgers, robust salads including the mighty nourish bowl. Lots of attention was paid to our groups allergen list with one of our party getting a bespoke plate of food. That alone earns a fifth star. We were given a handy laminate tab for the table which made it easier to continue to order throughout our three hour stay. Yep they couldn't get rid of us. Even when it got extremely busy as nearby workers gathered to unwind using ALL the tables inside and out. I'd say it had an Autistic friendly/ introvert vibe until then. Even the loos were pleasant to use with clear signage on a flush that even arthritic hands could manage. Took full advantage of the handy tiled ledge in my toilet to put my phone down. The only note l have to the manager who was very informative about their customer panel helping them with tweaks to accessibility is.... Dessert choices. Vary them for the summer months. Lighten the carb load with ice cream/ sorbet/ Eton mess/Trifles. As you're in a financial district how about making a jokey Millionaires Knickerbocker glory. I'd travel across London for it. I applaud the ambiance of this venue, the dedication of efficient non complaining bar staff who are working at full pelt, serving, clearing tables and listening to customers chat and the view of the wharf through the windows is Uber relaxing too. Well worth a visit. Bypass the rest because this is simply the best. 😘 This is my longest review ever. Thanks for getting to the end.💜🧚
